Album Review
Last Friday, Girder records released remasters of Petra’s albums Beyond Belief (originally released in 1990), Unseen Power (1991), and Wake Up Call (1993).
I am less familiar with Unseen Power at the moment, but I am very familiar with Beyond Belief and Wake Up Call, which are both excellent albums.
In fact, I think Beyond Belief is one of my personal favorite Petra albums. It has a consistent bold rock sound throughout, with a couple of equally amazing ballads (“Love”, which I reviewed this past February, and “Prayer”).
I plan to review more of the songs from the album to showcase their awesomeness individually.
If I absolutely had to pick favorite songs, I would probably say that my top two – with equal status – are “Seen and Not Heard” and “Beyond Belief.” Although I also really like “Creed.” And “Armed and Dangerous”… Goodness, trying to pick a favorite song on this album is kind of like being told to pick a favorite child – it just should not be done!
Anyway, here is the track list:
-
Armed and Dangerous
-
I am on the Rock
-
Creed
-
Beyond Belief
-
Love
-
Underground
-
Seen and Not Heard
-
Last Daze
-
What’s in a Name

I definitely recommend that you check it out!
